8-BALL
Eight-Ball is a call shot game played with a cue ball and 15 object balls, numbered 1 through 15.
One player must pocket balls of the group numbered 1 through 7 (solid colors), while the other
player has 9 through 15 (stripes). The player pocketing either group first, and then legally
pocketing the 8-ball wins the game.
CALL SHOT In Call Shot, obvious balls and pockets do not have to be indicated. It
is the opponent's right to ask which ball and pocket if he is unsure of the shot. Bank shots and
combination shots are not considered obvious, and care should be taken in calling both the object
ball and the intended pocket. When calling the shot, it is never necessary to indicate details such
as the number of cushions, banks, kisses, caroms, etc. Any balls pocketed on a foul remain pock-
eted, regardless of whether they belong to the shooter or the opponent. The opening break is not
a" called shot." Any player performing a break shot in 8-Ball may continue to shoot so long as any
object ball is legally pocketed on the break.
RACKING THE BALLS
The balls are racked in a triangle at the foot of the table with the 8-ball in the center of the triangle,
the first ball of the rack on the foot spot, a stripe ball in one corner of the rack and a solid ball in
the other corner.
ALTERNATING BREAK
Winner of the lag has the option to break. During
breaking on each subsequent game. individual competition, players will alternate
JUMP AND MASSE SHOT FOUL
While "cue ball fouls only" is the rule of play when a match is not presided over by a referee, a
player should be aware that it will be considered a cue ball foul if during an attempt to jump, curve
or masse the cue ball over or around an impeding numbered ball that is not a legal object ball, the
impeding ball moves (regardless of whether it was moved by a hand, cue stick follow-through or
bridge).
LEGAL BREAK SHOT
(Defined) To execute a legal break, the breaker (with the cue bail behind the head string) must either
(1) pocket a ball, or (2) drive at least four numbered balls to the rail. When the breaker fails to make
a legal break, it is a foul, and the incoming player has the option of (1) accepting the table in position
and shooting, or (2) having the balls re-racked and having the option of shooting the opening break
or allowing the offending player to re-break.
© 2007 Escalade Sports 9 For Customer Service Call 1-866-556-2759

SCRATCH ON A LEGAL BREAK
If a player scratches on a legal break shot, (1) all bails pocketed remain pocketed (exception, the 8-
bail: see rule "Object Balls Jumped Off Table On Break"), (2) it is a foul, (3) the table is open.
Please Note: The incoming player has cue ball in hand behind the head string and may not shoot
an object ball that is behind the head string, unless he first shoots the cue ball past the head string
and causes the cue ball to come back behind the head string and hit the object ball.
OBJECT BALLS JUMPED OFF TABLE ON THE BREAK
If a player jumps an object ball off the table on the break shot, it is a foul and the incoming player
has the option of (1) accepting the table in position and shooting, or (2) taking cue ball in hand
behind the head string and shooting.
8-BALL POCKETED ON THE BREAK
If the 8-ball is pocketed on the break, breaker may ask for a re-rack or have the 8-ball spotted and
continue shooting. If the breaker scratches while pocketing the - ball on the break, the incoming
player has the option of a re-rack or having the 8-ball spotted and begin shooting with ball in hand
behind the head string.
OPEN TABLE
(Defined) The table is "open" when the choice of groups (stripes or sofids) has not yet been deter-
mined. When the table is open, it is legal to hit a solid first to make a stripe or vice-versa. Note:
The table is always open immediately after the break shot. When the table is open it is legal to hit
any solid or stripe or the 8-ball first in the process of pocketing the called stripe or solid. However,
when the table is open and the 8-ball is the first ball contacted, no stripe or solid may be scored in
favor of the shooter. The shooter loses his turn; any balls pocketed remain pocketed; and the in-
coming player addresses the bails with the table still open. On an open table, all illegally pocketed
bails remain pocketed.
CHOICE OF GROUP
The choice of stripes or solids is not determined on the break even if balls are made from only one
or both groups, because the table is always open immediately after the break shot. The choice of
group is determined only when a player legally pockets a called object ball after the break shot.
LEGAL SHOT
(Defined) On all shots (except on the break and when the table is open), the shooter must hit one of
his group of balls first and (1) pocket a numbered ball, or (2) cause the cue ball or any numbered
ball to contact a rail. Please Note: It is permissible for the shooter to bank the cue ball off arail
before contacting the object ball; however, after contact with the object ball, an object ball must be
pocketed, or the cue ball or any numbered ball must contact a rail. Failure to meet these require-
ments is a foul.
"SAFETY" SHOT
For tactical reasons, a player may choose to pocket an obvious object ball and also discontinue a
turn at the table by declaring "safety" in advance. A safety shot is defined as alegal shot. If the
shooting player intends to play safe by pocketing an obvious object ball, then prior to the shot, the
shooter must declare a "safety" to the opponent. If this is not done, and one of the shooter's object
balls is pocketed, the shooter will be required to shoot again. Any ball pocketed on a safety shot
remains pocketed.
© 2007 Escalade Sports 10 For Customer Service Call 1-866-556-2759

SCORING
A player is entitled to continue shooting until failing to legally pocket a ball of his group. After a
player has legally pocketed all of his group of balls, he shoots to pocket the 8-ball.
FOUL PENALTY
Opposing player gets cue ball in hand. This means that the player can place the cue ball anywhere
on the table (does not have to be behind the head string except on opening break). This rule pre-
vents a player from making intentional fouls which would put an opponent at a disadvantage. With
"cue ball in hand," the player may use a hand or any part of a cue (including the tip) to position the
cue ball. When placing the cue ball in position, any forward stroke motion contacting the cue ball will
be a foul, if not a legal shot.
COMBINATION SHOTS
Combination shots are allowed; however, the 8=ball can't be used as a first ball in the combination
except when the table is open.
iLLEGALLY POCKETED BALLS
An object ball is considered to be illegally pocketed when (1) that object ball is pocketed on the
same shot a foul is committed, or (2) the called ball did not go in the designated pocket, or (3) a
safety is called prior to the shot. Illegally pocketed balls remain pocketed.
OBJECT BALLS JUMPED OFF THE TABLE
If any object ball is jumped off the table, it is a foul and loss of turn, unless it is the 8-ball, which is a
loss of game. Any jumped object balls are spotted in numerical order according to General Rules for
spotting balls.
PLAYING THE 8=BALL
When shooting at the 8=ball, a scratch or foul is not loss of game if the 8=ball is not pocketed or
jumped from the table. Incoming player has cue ball in hand. Note: A combination shot can never
be used to legally pocket the 8=ball.
LOSS OF GAME
A player loses the game by committing any of the following infractions:
1. Fouls when pocketing the 8=ball (exception: see 8-Bail Pocketed On The Break).
2. Pockets the 8=ball on the same stroke as the last of his group of balls.
3. Jumps the 8=ball off the table at any time.
4. Pockets the 8=ball in a pocket other than the one designated
5. Pockets the 8=ball when it is not the legal object ball.
Note: All infractions must be called before another shot is taken, or else it will be deemed
that no infraction occurred.
STALEMATED GAME
If, after 3 consecutive turns at the table by each player (6 turns total), the referee judges (or if no
referee, both players agree) that attempting to pocket or move an object ball will result in loss of
game, the balls will be reracked with the original breaker of the stalemated game breaking again.
The stalemate rule may only be used when there are only two object balls and the 8=ball remaining
on the table. Please Note: Three consecutive fouls by one player is not a loss of game

9 - BALL
Diagram21
OBJECT OF THE GAME
Nine-Ball is played with nine object bails numbered one through nine and a cue ball. On each shot,
the first ball the cue ball contacts must be the lowest numbered ball on the table, but the bails need
not be pocketed in order, if a player pockets any ball on a legal shot, he remains at the table for
another shot, and continues until missing, committing a foul, or wining the game by pocketing the 9-
ball. After a miss, the incoming player must shoot from the position left by the previous ptayer, but
after any foul the incoming player may start with the cue ball anywhere on the table. Players are not
required to call any shot. A match ends when one of the players has won the required number of
games.
RACKING THE BALLS
The object bails are racked in a diamond shape, with the 1-ball at the top of the diamond and on the
foot spot, the 9-ball in the center of the diamond, and the other bails in random order, racked as
tightly possible. The game begins with cue ball in hand behind the head string.
LEGAL BREAK SHOT
The rules governing the break shot are the same as for other shots except:
1. The breaker must strike the I-ball first and either pocket a ball or drive at least four numbered
balls to the rail.
2. If the cue ball is pocketed or driven off the table, or the requirements of the opening break are
not met, it is a foul, and the incoming player has cue ball in hand anywhere on the table.
.If on the break shot, the breaker causes an object ball to jump off the table, it is a foul and the
incoming player has cue ball in hand anywhere on Diagram 21 the table. The object ball is not
re-spotted (exception; if the object ball is the 9-ball, it is re-spotted).
CONTINUING PLAY
On the shot immediately following a legal break, the shooter may play a "push out." (See "Push
Out"). If the breaker pockets one or more balls on a legal break, he continues to shoot until he
misses, fouls, or wins the game. If the player misses or fouls, the other player begins an inning and
shoots until missing, committing a foul, or winning. The game ends when the 9-ball is pocketed on a
legal shot, or the game is forfeited for a serious infraction of the rules.

PUSH OUT
The player who shoots the shot immediately after a legal break may play a push out in an attempt to
move the cue ball into a better position for the option that follows. On a push out, the cue ball is not
An illegal push out is penalized according to the type of foul committed. After a player scratches on
the break shot, the incoming player cannot play a push out.
FOULS
When a player commits a foul, he must relinquish his run at the table and no balls pocketed on the
foul shot are re-spotted (exception; if a pocketed bail is the 9-ball, it is re-spotted). The incoming
player is awarded ball in hand; prior to his first shot he may place the cue ball anywhere on the
table. If a player commits several fouls on one shot, they are counted as only one foul.
BAD HIT
If the first object ball contacted by the cue ball is not the lowest numbered ball on the table, the shot
is foul.
NO RAIL
If no object ball is pocketed, failure to drive the cue ball or any numbered ball to a rail after the cue
ball contacts the object ball on is a foul.
IN HAND
When the cue ball is in hand, the player may place the cue ball anywhere on the bed of the table,
except in contact with an object ball. The player may continue to adjust the position of the cue ball
until shooting.
OBJECT BALLS JUMPED OFF THE TABLE
An un-pocketed ball is considered to be driven off the table if it comes to rest other than on the bed
of the table. It is a foul to drive an object ball off the table. The jumped object ball(s) is not re-spotted
(exception: if the object ball is the 9-ball it is re-spotted) and play continues.
JUMP AND MASSE SHOT FOUL
If a match is not refereed, it will be considered a cue ball foul if during an attempt to jump, curve or
masse the cue ball over or around an impeding numbered ball, the impeding ball moves (regardless
of whether it was moved by a hand; cue stick follow-through or bridge).
THREE CONSECUTIVE FOULS
If a player fouls three consecutive times on three successive shots without making an intervening
legal shot, the game is lost. The three fouls must occur in one game. The warning must be given
between the second and third fouls. A player's inning begins when it is legal to take a shot and ends
at the end of a shot on which he misses, fouls or wins, or when he fouls between shots.
END OF GAME
A game starts as soon as the cue ball crosses over the head string on the opening break. The 1-ball
must be legally contacted on the break shot. The game ends at the end of a legal shot which pock-
ets the 9-ball, or when a player forfeits the game as the result of a foul
